A place to start:

Start looking for 16 bit versions of applications that are running.  Such as A/V
scanners, software firewalls, etc.    Most running processes are running under a
system account, so it is time consuming to isolate the offending application.

Next try disabling processes running under "system"  one at a time with the CPU
monitor running and observe which one(s) make a big difference.  Sometimes a
re-install of that particular application will do the trick, but most will
require upgrading to a 32 bit version of the process.

In my case, I had to update the F-PROT scan engine to a 32 bit version and that
solved the runaway issue.

Good luck!

  Subject: SOT: Latest Windows Updates

  Hey All,

  We applied the latest round or about 5 security updates to our Win2K
  Advanced Server yesterday and then all hell broke loose.

  It now takes about 10-15 minutes to get to the desktop, then another 15 or
  so before SQL Server and a few other services get running....CF service
  never started in that time so I went in and set it to a manual start (trying
  to free up resources).

  Basically, the "System" process (not System Idle Process) is taking up all
  the CPU time...occasionally letting go for a few seconds.

  Being that the system moves SO slow it's tough to check things to try and
  diagnose...so I'm here asking for help ;-)

  Any..and I do mean ANY advice would be great

  TIA

  Cheers
